and angela merkel, the german cha chancellor said the same thing. that remains their preference, they want to keep this kind of olive branch out there. but, of course, they're watching like we are the situation on the ground in ukraine. real escalation. two helicopters shot down today, and the president made the point in the news conference that's not peaceful protesters taking it down, that implies real arming of these militants with, you know, something you can fire from the ground to take down a helicopter. and that's, of course, something that the u.s. and europeans blame on russia. so they're also fighting back at this russian narrative, which you heard at the u.n. today that russians are under threat, peaceful protesters, we want to protect them. you still have the two competing, you know, world views, which are diametrically opposed. >> right. jim schiutto, thank you so much. >>> let's move along, breaking news here on cnn. we are getting word of the first case of deadly virus from the middle east here in the united states. dr. sanjay gupta w
